[PATCH 1/4] smp: Improve locality in smp_call_function_any()

[Yury Norov]

From: "Yury Norov [NVIDIA]" <yury.norov@xxxxxxxxx>

smp_call_function_any() tries to make a local call as it's the cheapest
option, or switches to a CPU in the same node. If it's not possible, the
algorithm gives up and searches for any CPU, in a numerical order.

Instead, we can search for the best CPU based on NUMA locality, including
2nd nearest hop (a set of equidistant nodes), and higher.

sched_numa_find_nth_cpu() does exactly that, and also helps to drop most
of housekeeping code.
